If you figure out which word is the actual Captcha, you can enter whatever you want for the other one. It's because one of them is scanned for input into books.

I was going to mention that one word may be something that is needed for automatic scanning of rare/out-of-print books. It was designed as not only a 'proof of a real human' entering information, but an ingenious way to get assistance with proofreading scans of difficult-to-scan texts.

To me that is a reason to be more careful with what is entered for the 'non-Captcha' word, not less. Unless one feels that our literary history is not worth saving. [I am not suggesting you feel that way, I am merely presenting an idea many may not have considered with those.]

See, I'm immature, so I put naughty words in there.

So is the word you can actually read the captcha and the gobbledygook the "let's see if someone else can figure this out" one?

Generally. The word you need to enter correctly won't have any punctuation, and be mostly the same size and style. Once you get good at it, you can tell easy. The reCaptcha words are always the the same font, unless they change it.
